Crock Pot Goodness

A few years ago, my husband and I went to a BBQ at my girlfriend’s house and she had made “Slow Simmering B-B-Q Sandwiches” in her crock pot.  It was delicious and to this day my husband still will bring up those sandwiches and say that he wished I would make them.  Well, I got the recipe from her a long time ago, but I never made it.  I had never made anything in a crock pot and I didn’t know what to expect.  I am now kicking myself in the butt for waiting so long to try it out!  I found her recipe and a slow cooker recipe book two days ago while cleaning. So this afternoon I pulled out the new crock pot, headed to the store to buy my first chuck pot roast, and pulled out the 6 ingredients I needed.

It was so easy! It literally took 5 minutes to have it ready and in the pot cooking! After 6 hours, the roast was so tender that it just fell apart. I added the final ingredient (BBQ sauce) and made a sandwich.  I couldn’t believe it; my first crock pot attempt worked beautifully! These sandwiches are so good and it was seriously the easiest cooking session ever! It took about 10 minutes of my time and the crock pot did the rest 🙂  So thank you Donna for your awesome recipe! I am now going to be venturing into the recipe book and trying out more dishes. The slow cooker is my newest friend. I hope that you like these sandwiches too!
